EiskaltDC++

EiskaltDC++ version 2.2.9 is a cross-platform program falling under the Internet & Network category, specifically within the Network Tools subcategory. Developed by EiskaltDC++, this open source program leverages the Direct Connect and ADC protocol to offer robust interoperability with other DC clients like the original DC from Neomodus, DC++, and its derivatives. It also works seamlessly with all common DC hub software.

One of the standout aspects of EiskaltDC++ is its minimal patch application to the original DC++ kernel, which simplifies upgrading to new versions and maintains compatibility with other clients. Nevertheless, the number of required patches continues to increase.

The latest version of EiskaltDC++ is 2.2.9, supporting an extensive range of operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. Users can find it under the program names EiskaltDC Qt.exe, and eiskaltdcpp-qt.exe. Previous iterations, such as 2.2, and 2.1, remain available but might lack some of the enhancements found in the latest release. The fact that it is free to download and use is another highlight that might appeal to potential users. As an open source software, it provides a high level of transparency and customizability for those interested.

• Free to download and use, making it accessible for everyone.
• Wide range of supported OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.
